Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for performing a parking operation of a motor vehicle into a transverse parking space by means of a parking assistance system of the motor vehicle, wherein environmental information to an environment of the motor vehicle is captured by a sensor device of the parking assistance system and the transverse parking space is detected by a control device of the parking assistance system depending on the environmental information and control signals are delivered at least to a steering system of the motor vehicle, by which the motor vehicle is guided or controlled from a current position through an entry side of the transverse parking space into the transverse parking space.
  • the invention relates to a parking assistance system for performing such a method as well as to a motor vehicle with such a parking assistance system.
  • Parking assistance systems or driver assistance devices are already known from the prior art, which assist the driver of a motor vehicle in performing parking operations.

  • fully automatic systems on the other hand.
  • a potential parking space is detected and a dimension of the parking space is captured and then compared to a stored minimum dimension. If the captured dimension of the detected parking space is at least equal to the minimum dimension, thus, the possibility of the parking operation is signaled to the driver.
  • the system determines the current relative position of the motor vehicle with respect to the parking space and calculates a parking path (parking trajectory), along which the motor vehicle can be parked into the parking space without collision.
  • semi-autonomous parking assistance systems it is assigned to the driver to accelerate and to brake.
  • the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle is therefore controlled by the driver himself, while the control of the transverse guidance is effected by the parking assistance system itself by delivering corresponding control signals to a steering system of the motor vehicle.
  • both the longitudinal guidance and the transverse guidance are automatically performed by the parking assistance system by delivering corresponding control signals both to the steering system and to a power train and a brake system of the motor vehicle.
  • the driver only has to enable the parking operation and also can interrupt it at any time.
  • a parking assistance system is for example known from the printed matter WO 2008/055567 A1.
  • ultrasonic sensors For capturing parking spaces, usually, ultrasonic sensors are employed, which are attached in the front area of the motor vehicle at the respective lateral flanks. During passage of the motor vehicle by a potential parking space, the ultrasonic sensor continuously measures the lateral distance of the motor vehicle to obstacles or objects external to vehicle. Based on the progression of the measured values of the ultrasonic sensor as well as considering the traveled path distance, the dimension of the parking space in longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle or in longitudinal direction of the roadway as well as the relative position of the parking space with respect to the motor vehicle can then be determined. This applies both to longitudinal parking spaces, the longitudinal axis of which is substantially oriented parallel to the roadway, and to transverse parking spaces, the longitudinal axis of which extends perpendicularly or at an acute angle to the roadway. Such a detection method is for example known from the document EP 0 305 907 B1.
  • the document DE 10 2005 046 827 A1 for example describes a method for parking assistance, in which the dimensions of the parking space are determined in a not yet terminated, at least partial positioning of the vehicle in the parking space and a trajectory or parking path of the vehicle to the termination of the parking operation is determined.
  • the parking operation is started by the driver himself and terminated by the parking assistance system in automated manner only after detection of the parking space.
  • a method for parking a motor vehicle into a transverse parking space in which a starting position of the motor vehicle relative to the parking space is first reached and the vehicle longitudinal axis forms an angle less than 60° with the parking space longitudinal axis in the starting position.
  • a starting position of the motor vehicle relative to the parking space is first reached and the vehicle longitudinal axis forms an angle less than 60° with the parking space longitudinal axis in the starting position.
  • respective flanks of vehicles can be detected, by which the parking space is laterally bounded.
  • a parking trajectory is then determined from the starting position to a target position and the motor vehicle is guided along the parking trajectory in automated manner. Accordingly, the determination of the target position in the parking space is here effected based on the detected flanks of the lateral vehicles.
  • a method for controlling a parking assistance system of a vehicle is further known from the document DE 10 2007 027 438 A1
  • a target position in a parking space is determined depending on whether or not a vehicle occupant is detected on the passenger side.
  • a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle in parking into a transverse parking space is furthermore known from the document DE 10 2009 039 084 A1.
  • Environmental information is captured by a sensor device and a parking trajectory is determined depending on the environmental information, along which the motor vehicle is forward parked into the transverse parking space at least in semi-autonomous manner.
  • a target position of the vehicle in the parking space is determined such that all of the points of the vehicle center longitudinal axis have the same distance to lateral boundaries of the parking space.
  • the parking assistance system orients itself by the lateral objects, which laterally immediately bound the parking space.
  • a method for parking a vehicle into a parking space without previous passage by the parking space is moreover known from the document DE 10 2010 056 064 A1.
  • a lateral boundary of the parking space can be detected, by which the parking space is bounded in parking space transverse direction. Only after detection of the lateral boundary, be it of another vehicle, be it of a marking, a target position or parking position in the parking space can be determined and a corresponding parking trajectory can be calculated, along which the motor vehicle can then be semi-autonomously or fully automatically guided by the parking assistance system.
  • the determination of the actual orientation of the parking space and thus the determination of the target position and correspondingly the determination of a suitable parking trajectory are not possible.
  • Such scenarios for example occur in parking garages, in which multiple transverse parking spaces are separated from each other exclusively by pillars.
  • the circumference is to be considered as disadvantageous in the prior art that the determination of the target position in the parking space is only insufficient based on the lateral boundaries because it can for example occur that a vehicle bounding the parking space is obliquely parked, i.e. at an acute angle with respect to the parking space longitudinal direction. This then results in the fact that the ego motor vehicle is also obliquely parked into the detected parking space by the parking assistance system.
  • the object of the invention to demonstrate a solution, how in a method of the initially mentioned kind, the parking operation of the motor vehicle can be particularly reliably performed by the parking assistance system, in particular also in absence of lateral boundaries or with relatively small, point-shaped lateral boundaries, for instance in the form of a pillar or the like.
  • this object is solved by a method, by a parking assistance system as well as by a motor vehicle having the features according to the respective independent claims.
  • Advantageous implementations of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims, of the description and of the figures.
  • a method according to the invention serves for performing a parking operation of a motor vehicle into a transverse parking space by means of a parking assistance system of the motor vehicle.
  • a sensor device of the parking assistance system environmental information to an environment of the motor vehicle is—in particular continuously—captured.
  • the transverse parking space is detected by a control device of the parking assistance system depending on the environmental information.
  • the control device delivers control signals at least to a steering system of the motor vehicle to control the motor vehicle from a current position through an entry side of the transverse parking space into the transverse parking space.
  • a rear boundary is detected by the parking assistance system, which bounds the transverse parking space in parking space longitudinal direction on a rear side opposing the entry side.
  • a target orientation of the motor vehicle for a target position in the parking space is then determined based on the rear boundary by the parking assistance system.
  • the effect according to the invention is achieved in that a rear boundary bounding the transverse parking space in parking space longitudinal direction—for example a wall and/or a marking—is detected based on the environmental information and used to set a target orientation of the motor vehicle for the target position or parking position by the parking assistance system itself, i.e. an orientation of the vehicle longitudinal axis with respect to the parking space longitudinal axis.
  • the setting of the target orientation of the motor vehicle or of the parking position can therefore be particularly reliably effected even in absence of extended lateral boundaries or also in situations, in which the determination of the target orientation based on lateral boundaries is not possible.
  • the method according to the invention in particular proves particularly advantageous in situations, in which the transverse parking space is bounded by a point-shaped object at least on one side, such as for example by a pillar or the like.
  • the orientation of the motor vehicle in the target position is determined based on the rear boundary.
  • a further advantage of the method according to the invention is in that the motor vehicle can always be parked perpendicularly to the rear boundary, namely independently on whether or not a vehicle laterally bounding the parking space is obliquely parked.
  • transverse parking space in particular a parking space is understood, the longitudinal axis or longitudinal direction of which is oriented perpendicularly to a roadway adjoining to the parking space.
  • the transverse parking space can be a parking spot in a parking garage or a garage.
  • the control signals are delivered at least to the steering system of the motor vehicle by the control device.
  • the parking assistance system is formed for performing an at least semi-autonomous parking operation. If the parking operation is fully automatically performed, thus, corresponding control signals can also be delivered to a power train and/or a brake system of the motor vehicle to also perform the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle in automated manner.
  • the parking operation can be performed forward and/or rearward.
  • the method can be applied for forward parking and/or for rearward parking.
  • the target orientation for the target position in the transverse parking space is preferably set such that the vehicle longitudinal axis forms an angle in a range of values from 80° to 100°, in particular in a range of values from 85° to 95°, with the rear boundary in the target position.
  • the target orientation is a perpendicular orientation of the vehicle longitudinal axis relative to the rear boundary.
  • the detection of the rear boundary can also be used to determine the depth of the transverse parking space and thus the target position of the motor vehicle in the parking space.
  • the target position can be determined such that the motor vehicle is positioned in a preset distance to the rear boundary in this target position.
  • an elongated object in particular a guardrail and/or a wall
  • a boundary can be detected with the aid of a distance sensor without much effort, for example by means of an ultrasonic sensor. Since such distance sensors are usually present in today's vehicles as default, thus, the employment of further sensors with the disadvantages associated therewith is unnecessary.
  • a marking applied to the ground can also be detected as the rear boundary.
  • a marking can for example be detected based on image data of a camera.
  • this embodiment is particularly advantageous if a further parking space is located behind the rear boundary in parking space longitudinal direction and these two parking spaces are not separated from each other by a guardrail or the like.
  • the control device detects the marking, by which the two parking spaces are separated from each other.
  • the control device based on the environmental information if the transverse parking space is bounded by an elongated or extended lateral object in parking space transverse direction, which extends along the transverse parking space and besides it and thus allows determination of the orientation of the parking space and thus also of the target orientation of the motor vehicle in the target position. If such a lateral object is detected, the target orientation can be determined based on the rear boundary and/or based on the lateral object. Optionally, both the rear boundary and the lateral object can be used for setting the target orientation. In contrast, if a lateral object is not detected, which allows determining the target orientation, the target orientation can be determined solely based on the rear boundary. By this additional check, the determination of the target orientation or the parking position in the parking space can be even more reliably and adequately effected.
  • the transverse parking space is detected by the control device, this detection is preferably signaled to the driver.
  • the driver has the possibility of activating the at least semi-autonomous parking operation or denying the activation.
  • the parking operation is performed by the parking assistance system on condition that the driver performs a corresponding confirming input at an input device. This confirming input is received by the control device, whereupon the parking operation is then activated.
  • the activation of the parking operation can optionally also be correspondingly signaled.
  • a further precondition for the activation of the parking operation can also involve that the motor vehicle stands still and/or a predetermined gear is engaged, namely in particular the reverse gear for rearward parking and/or the first gear for forward parking.
  • the detection of the transverse parking space can basically also be effected without passage of the motor vehicle by the parking space.
  • the transverse parking space can for example be detected in the standstill of the motor vehicle and/or upon approach of the motor vehicle to the parking space based on the current environmental information.
  • a parking trajectory from the current position at least to an intermediate position between the current position and the target position is determined by the control device after detecting the transverse parking space. Then, the motor vehicle is guided along the determined parking trajectory at least in semi-autonomous manner by the control device and thus can be parked along the parking trajectory into the transverse parking space without collision.
  • the rear boundary of the parking space can also be detected at the same time such that the detection of the transverse parking space is also effected based on the rear boundary.
  • image data is provided by means of a camera as the environmental information.
  • the rear boundary can also be detected from a relative large distance.
  • the rear boundary cannot yet be detected at the time of detection of the transverse parking space. This can for example be the case if distance values are acquired by means of a distance sensor, for example an ultrasonic sensor, as the environmental information.
  • the range of an ultrasonic sensor is usually ca. 4 m and can therefore be smaller than the length of the motor vehicle itself and thus the length of the transverse parking space.
  • the transverse parking space can for example be detected based on lateral boundaries even if they are constituted by a pillar or another point-shaped object.
  • the parking space can also only be detected when the motor vehicle is already partially within the parking space and the parking assistance system can detect the rear boundary.
  • the parking trajectory can be corrected and/or completed after detecting the rear boundary by the control device based on the current environmental information or based on the detected rear boundary.
  • the parking operation can also be at least semi-autonomously begun without the information about the rear boundary and then nevertheless be reliably terminated by correcting the orientation of the motor vehicle based on the detected rear boundary.
  • the parking trajectory from the current position to the target position can be determined considering the rear boundary.
  • the environmental information can be continuously captured, and it can be continuously checked by the control device based on the respectively current environmental information if a difference between the position of the rear boundary assumed or determined originally in the calculation of the parking trajectory on the one hand and an actual position of the rear boundary determined based on the current environmental information on the other hand exceeds a preset threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the originally determined parking trajectory can be corrected based on the current environmental information.
  • the environmental information is continuously captured during the parking operation by the control device and the parking trajectory is corrected, in particular continuously corrected, by the control device based on the current environmental information.
  • the parking operation can be particularly reliably performed and be exactly terminated even with errors in the initial parking trajectory calculation.
  • distance values can be captured by means of at least one distance sensor, in particular by means of a plurality of distance sensors, of the sensor device as the environmental information.
  • distance sensors for example ultrasonic sensors, already present anyway can also be used for capturing environmental information.
  • control device can also include a camera, by means of which image data or images of the vehicle environment are provided. Based on image data, the rear boundary can be detected already early or from a larger distance and thus be taken into account in the calculation of the parking trajectory.

  • the transverse parking space 14 is laterally bounded by an elongated object 24 (here a wall) on the one hand and by a pillar 15 on the other hand.
  • the parking space 14 is detected by the control device 3 based on the elongated object 24 and the pillar 15 as well as optionally based on the rear boundary 17 .
  • the elongated object 24 and/or the rear boundary 17 are taken into account.
  • a multi-move parking trajectory can be determined.
  • the parking operation can for example be terminated in at least three moves.
  • the parking trajectory can be continuously corrected and/or completed based on the respectively current environmental information.
